Viewing web-pages offline

Hello,

How can the web-pages be viewed offline? The scrapbook plus add-on is no more compatible with Firefox 26.0.

Thanks.

Have you tried the beta version as the page says?

But beta version can break things sometimes…is it true…? Because it is beta and not stable.

Also, we have any other such package in openSUSE?

Well you have to tell that the developer of the package to make the
stable release compatible with FF 26. This is not an openSUSE package
and I am not aware that anyone here can do anything about it.
There is a support email link on the page you posted where you can
contact the developer of the addon.

Yes, I know that…But is there any other package in openSUSE like that which makes one able to browse offline? Or a similar utility?

Squid can be configured as a caching proxy, I understand. Maybe have a
look at that.

Not that I know another package which does that. Maybe someone else
knows one.

Honestly I would not be that critical when looking at a
firefox addon which is beta, it is not likely that such an addon for
offline reading has any effect to your system, in the very worst case it
could make your firefox unstable (but this can happen with every non
beta addon also) and if that happens it is a matter of seconds to remove it.

wget can be used to mirror a web page locally. Then you can point Firefox to the local file and load
it, or serve it out from your own Apache.

Nowadays I use wget exclusively (I’ve used a few others in the past) especially now that it supports multi-threading which speeds up the download immensely.

Very few websites aren’t replicated so your copy works perfectly.

Recommend you construct a base command, then save it. After that, you only need to point the command to any website you choose and if you choose to restrict the links to only the website’s own domain, then the domain would need to be defined.

Use this addon to store webpages in archived/compressed format on your
machine

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/mozilla-archive-format/

Version 3.10.2
openSUSE 13.1 (Bottle) (x86_64) 64-bit
Kernel Linux 3.11.6-4-desktop
Where are my penguins :- https://features.opensuse.org/316767

Right going outside for some work…See it today night…

Well, I installed it and now give it a try. It works. The purpose of asking other was to be acquainted with something better…But tasks can be done with this also.

I know it might take time to configure it and learn this way. But I would be pleased if you could point me to a URL which shows this process exactly.

Well, this is good.

I guess its a way more tougher than other methods…, though my belief.

I Google about the ‘base command’. And then see it…

As TSU said, you construct your base command. Ie, you read the wget man page, and try yourself with
some web page till you get a combination that works to your preferences. It needs experimenting. :slight_smile:

Sorry, I have not done this in a long time, so I don’t remember if I have such a combination saved
somewhere.

Ok, I would try that.

I found some:


wget --continue --recursive --level=2 --convert-links --page-requisites http://SITE/1.html

Para a single page:

wget -k -p http://SITE/1.html

does not follow links, not useful for multi-page docs.


Another possibility:


wget -E -H -k -K -nh -p http://SITE/DOCUMENT

If it has frames, add "-r -l1"

Those notes are years old, so you will have to verify them, and watch the download closely to see it
does not traverse entire gigabytes of pages.

Well, I see those commands…
